I bought two of these now. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the trick and used it a lot
(which is why I bought it a second time).
I have it attached to my keychain at all times.
The first one broke while in my pocket somehow. thinking it was simply a fluke, I re-bought this
product, and it broke again shortly afterwards.
After reading the reviews here as well as
on EVERY other site, I can only conclude that while this is an outstanding trick, it WILL break....

Yep, I just visited this page to type my review and so that all have the same review about this
product. Of what use is a building if the basement isn't strong? haha...same goes with this product.
The reel is excellent. everything is fine. but the key chain plastic? pathetic! American made
products usually last long. I doubt if this was made in US!

Yeah I got mine and it broke like immediately, its sad that they would sell such a terrible product.
Obviously it wasn't just an "ineffective one" either because look at the reviews where it shows it
broke. I really thought this was going to be a ring flight that was going to be good but truly
devastatingly terrible

Altought the trick is great and you'll use it a lot while it lasts, it is something that breaks
after 1 month if you take good care.
Therefore, I am very disappointed with this trick.

My Departure ring flight broke like the other reviewers but it lasted over a year. Unfortunately
when it broke it broke at the most important part making repair impossible. I wouldn't consider
replacing this product considering the damage I might do to a borrowed ring if it fails during
performance.
It's a really clever idea, updating the key wallet, but I'll wait until a
retooled version comes out.

Mine broke after just one days practise, so obviously my review isn't going to be good. Before it
broke though the gimmick seemed okay and I can see why it would suit some peoples performance!

I really wanted to rave about this trick because it really is a good trick. Only probably was it
broke after a month or two of being in my pocket. Mine just didn't stand up to your average keychain
abuse. Grrrr.
But while I did have it, it was A LOT OF FUN! But for the price I paid, I'd
expect it to last me years...not months. Pretty disappointed in that. I tried to fix it...but yeah,
that's a whole different magic trick in it's self. One that would be labelled as a miracle. lol

What a waste of money

I'm sorry. I have to disagree. Mine has lasted pretty well. I keep it in my pocket all the time.
Unfortunately it is getting a little outdated now.
For the longest time, I knew the "ring flight" trick was very effective but I never bought it. The
fact that a borrowed ring appeared in a suspiciously over-sized key wallet that I , or anyone I
know, wouldn't carry around gave me the feeling the effect was unnatural for me. Even worse, I think
the nature of the props involved in the standard effect brings the spectators attention to the
actual gimmick. All my concerns disappeared with "Departure". The gimmick is very natural and
casual. Even better, it is something that I, and everybody I know, would carry with me all the time.
The gimmick is very silent and well constructed. I wished the clip was smaller and less conspicuous;
that will make it easier to hide. Other than that I think is great and I would recommend it to
anyone interested in the effect.
